In Far Cry 2, you can pick one of about 13 mercenaries to play as. It has no effect on anything other than your arms (it's an FPS), and I love it.
Yeah, Bioware do characters and character interation incredibly well. They have done since the Black Isle days.LittleBlondeGoth said:Ooh! Ooh!

It's just these occasional snide asides that really make me snigger.
GTA had them in all the games since III to my knowledge. I would record the stats after every 30 days to see how I progress through a year.EHKOS said:This, GTA had this in one of the Stories spin offs, it was pretty cool. Also the wobble animation in SSBM was nice.Matthew94 said:Stats pages.
I love when a game meticulously records all manner of weird stats from my adventure.

That's what I had read. I guess I misunderstood it then.Calibanbutcher said:YOu sure they did that?Jorec said:Little environmental or graphical effects that really aren't necessary but you end up really appreciating.
Like how in Metroid Prime if you pass through a steam vent Samus's visor will fog up or if you're in a rainy environment you'll see little rain drops run down it. Or maybe some Space Pirate blood splotches onto it if you're close to them when you kill them.
The biggest one though is when an explosion goes off really close to you and you see her reflection in the visor! Seeing that never gets old. It disappoints me that they removed these effects in the Metroid Prime Trilogy re-release for the Wii.
I have the rerelease and I recall raindrops, steam, samus reflection in visor etc, being in the game.

While not my favourite, it certainly is fun to go through the stats pages and find weird shit they've been tracking.Matthew94 said:Stats pages.
